Perservation and Infants' Search: A Comparison of Two- and Three-Location Tasks.
Sophian, Catherine
Developmental Psychology, v21 n1 p187-94 Jan 1985
To evaluate prevalence of perseveration in early search, nine-month-olds were tested on both two- and three-location version of Piaget's AB task. Three principal findings emerged: (1) infants did not show systematic perservation on either location task; (2) they did demonstrate positive search skills; and (3) they searched using similiar methods on both location tasks.
